1 书亚人比勒达回答说,
2 这些话你要说到几时?口中的言语如狂风要到几时呢?
3 神岂能偏离公平?全能者岂能偏离公义?
4 或者你的儿女得罪了他,他使他们受报应。
5 你若殷勤地寻求神,向全能者恳求。
6 你若清洁正直,他必定为你起来,使你公义的居所兴旺。
7 你起初虽然微小,终久必甚发达。
8 请你考问前代,追念他们的列祖所查究的。
9 我们不过从昨日才有,一无所知。我们在世的日子好像影儿。
10 他们岂不指教你,告诉你,从心里发出言语来呢?
11 蒲草没有泥,岂能发长?芦荻没有水,岂能生发?
12 尚青的时候,还没有割下,比百样的草先枯槁。
13 凡忘记神的人,景况也是这样。不虔敬人的指望要灭没。
14 他所仰赖的必折断,他所倚靠的是蜘蛛网。
15 他要倚靠房屋,房屋却站立不住。他要抓住房屋,房屋却不能存留。
16 他在日光之下发青,蔓子爬满了园子。
17 他的根盘绕石堆,扎入石地。
18 他若从本地被拔出,那地就不认识他,说,我没有见过你。
19 看哪,这就是他道中之乐。以后必另有人从地而生。
20 神必不丢弃完全人,也不扶助邪恶人。
21 他还要以喜笑充满你的口,以欢呼充满你的嘴。
22 恨恶你的要披戴惭愧。恶人的帐棚,必归于无有。
King James Version
Chapter 8
8:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
8:2 How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
8:3 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
8:4 If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;
8:5 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
8:6 If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
8:8 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
8:9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
8:10 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
8:11 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
8:12 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.
8:13 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
8:14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.
8:15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
8:16 He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
8:17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
8:18 If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
8:19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
8:20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
8:21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
8:22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
